Hi there; reading the Tom's article on SSD 3/6GB performance today, I realised that when I recently built my machine, I connected my Corsair Force Series GT180GB SATA III SSD to a 3GB connection on the P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 mobo. So this evening, I went in and connected it to a 6GB connector, and now I can't select it in the BIOS as the boot drive.
I see the WD storage drive in there, and I see the optical drive (both connected to 3GB sockets), but the SSD, which appears in the SATA6G_1 (grey) position in the SATA setup menu, cannot be selected.
I CAN use the boot override function to boot from the SSD.
(Aside: the situation is improved since I moved the 6GB connection from one of the navy blue connectors to the grey one. In the navy blue socket, I could also boot using the override, but it appeared in the device manager as a SCSI drive.)
The machine appears to be functioning normally when booted with the override, but obviously, I'd like to set the BIOS correctly.
Any advice is very welcome. Thanks.
